• Changes in humpback whale song structure and complexity reveal a rapid evolution on a feeding ground in Northern Norway 

      Tyarks, Saskia C.; Aniceto, Ana Sofia; Ahonen, Heidi; Pedersen, Geir; Lindstrøm, Ulf Ove (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Singing behaviour by male humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) has traditionally been associated with low-latitude breeding grounds. However, in recent years, this vocal behaviour has been increasingly reported outside ...
